Promoted on scientific merit. Led a project to deliver estimates of soil carbon fluxes due to land use change for the UK National carbon dioxide inventory, reporting and presenting to government customer, Defra. Worked in partnership with CEH, Cranfield University, UEA-CRU, DANI, TVS and the James Hutton Institute to develop coordinated 1km resolution.

Promoted on scientific merit. Co-designed and developed a novel model of phosphate leaching in agricultural soils. Reviewed factors controlling phosphorus sorption in soils and analysed and simulated phosphate loss data from experimental sites. Developed prototype methods for linking RothC soil carbon model to spatial soil, climate and land use datasets.

Worked with a large global network of long-term experiments, and collaborators at RISSAC, Hungary to evaluate, develop and apply soil carbon models to estimate mitigation potential for agricultural land over larger areas using innovative linking of process models and GIS databases. Published four first author papers during this research as a graduate.

Led technical and statistical analysis of market research data for major customers (Shell, Barclaycard, Alliance & Leicester) from a variety of sources (telephone, face and street interviews) involving close liaison with the customers and marketing executives. Salary increased by £3k after only 3 months in post as a result of my effectiveness and.

Studied the environmental fate of pesticides in riverine systems using pesticide fate modelling (WASP5 - US EPA model) in collaboration with HR Wallingford and INERIS (France) with case study data for a UK river. Delivered teaching to undergraduate students on BSc Environmental Studies course including Maths and Statistics workshops, assistance with field.
